Looking at the current cycle of Bitcoin, it seems to lack that sense of market frenzy.

Looking back, in 2022, after the FOMO wave in the previous year was overextended, the market entered a bear market. It has been nearly two years of bear territory, and only in 2023 did the situation turn around. By the fourth quarter of last year, the market started to heat up, and that frantic atmosphere gradually intensified.

The overall performance in 2024 has been quite good. Many people are wondering whether 2025 can continue this momentum and deliver even better results.

But the reality is, after BTC hit a new all-time high, it did not continue to accelerate upward. Instead, it entered a correction mode. A long adjustment has arrived, and the market enthusiasm is also fading. Frankly speaking, this cycle feels quite different from the previous crazy phases.

nah, interesting edge case here—market's actually just being rational for once, which honestly feels unhinged compared to the usual cycle mechanics. theoretically exploitable? maybe, but the "missing hype" is probably just... maturity? bit depressing tbh

It took two years to turn things around, and now it's starting to wear people down again... This time, I really lack that crazy spirit.

This market isn't crazy enough this time. It feels like something is missing. Without that do-or-die atmosphere, it’s quite uncomfortable. Are all the crypto people working regular jobs now? This wave doesn't feel as exciting as before, and the pullback is still stressful. Even holding onto new historical highs is tough; the market really isn't as fiery anymore. Honestly, compared to 2021, the current hype is like a different scene.

This time the market really isn't that exciting, it feels like the popularity has faded. --- Breaking new highs and then starting to pull back, a typical "false fire" rhythm. --- If you ask me, the current FOMO atmosphere is gone, and the market is more rational. --- That round in 2022 was truly crazy; this time it's almost there. --- The adjustment phase is painful, but isn't it healthier this way? --- BTC can't even hold new highs, a bit disappointing. --- As the heat cools down, it's actually a good time to seriously look at the fundamentals. --- It feels like everyone is waiting for the next wave of the trend, in a state of lying flat. --- The all-time high didn't continue, which is indeed different from before. --- With the market cooling down, could the opportunity for bottom-fishing be coming?

This wave of market movement is indeed dull; where's the previous frenzy?

It's the same old trick again. When there's no one to buy at high levels, they start talking about "lack of enthusiasm," sounding nice... but actually, it's just the chips loosening. In 2022, I was fully shorting, and I got liquidated three times. Now that I see this kind of correction, uh... should I feel lucky or frustrated?
